After informing Coach Matthew's, Brandon stated, "It's exciting. I think they have a great program and I'm excited to show up, work hard, and try to earn a spot. But the opportunity is there and that's all I can ask for."
Brandon is currently a member of the Patriots varsity basketball squad, and is planning on joining the Track and Field team this spring.
Park View High School will be holding a signing ceremony for Brandon on Wednesday, February 3. More details on the ceremony will be available in the near future.
